Garlic Bulb has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years throughout many different cultures. The most common use of the Garlic Bulb is in the form of an ingredient for seasoning in preparing dishes due to its rather pungent smell. It is also considered to be a very important component for cooking in most parts of Asia, the Middle East, northern Africa, southern Europe and as well as some parts of the Americas. Depending on the intensity of the aroma required for the dishes, Garlic Bulb is usually paired with onion, ginger or even tomatoes. The skin of the bulb is taken off before using it in the preparation of meals. It is often let out of its skin by cutting out one edge of the bulb and then squeezing it out by pushing it through from the other end. This method though needs a little bit of roasting to make the skin separate from the body.
